Bonnie Fae Bleil Hall was born April 4, 1922 to Beth Atwell Bleil and Herbert Charles Bleil in Kansas City, Missouri. She peacefully earned her angel wings in the wee hours of the morning August 23, 2017. Bonnie married Richard Bruce Hall, Jr., the love of her life, July 11, 1939. They were married 71 years when he preceded her in death in 2011. She focused the early years of her adult life raising their five children and making a comfortable home for Richard. Bonnie loved nature, especially all aspects of flowers from gardening to arranging. As a young mother she was very involved in garden clubs and entered some of her best arrangements in garden shows, even at the Texas State Fair. She also enjoyed league bowling. When her children were almost grown Bonnie and Richard both learned to play the organ and were very involved in their organ club. Always wanting to stay current with their knowledge, they took computer classes at Richland College. She was also a member of the Sarah Cockrell Chapter, NSDAR.
